Just a few hours after Sony released their firmware 3.10, people figured out how to prevent the firmware update and access the PSN services from their PS Vitas running firmware 3.01.

A few days later Sony released their firmware 3.12, which fixes some of the problems introduced in firmware 3.10, for example the memory card problem.

And this is basically where the problems start…

Proxies and other Bypasses fixed

Usually it has been possible to access the PSN store from the firmware, that had been the newest firmware, before the currently newest firmware took its place. This means, after firmware 3.10 was released, the 3.01 was the previously newest firmware, and the proxy bypasses were working without a flaw, since this has been the case at the PS Vita since a long time.

Then Sony released the firmware 3.12 and this is basically where the problems started. Sure, in the beginning those bypasses were still working, but if we apply the logic mentioned before, then it should be possible to access the PSN services from firmware 3.10 with proxies and bypasses, but not anymore from the firmware 3.01, and this is currently the case.

PS Vita owners running the firmware 3.01 can not access any PSN services anymore, be it via proxies, via bypasses or even the download queue – Those workarounds are currently not working anymore, and will most likely never work again (at least not with firmware 3.01).

You can still access the PSP PSN services from within the TN-V eCFW on your firmware 3.01, but it is worth to mention, that every downloaded content will only be accessable from within the PSPemulator, not from the PS Vitas homescreen. Downloading content from within TN-V will not create a bubble, and said content won’t work anymore, if you happen to update your firmware to 3.10/3.12.

So was thinking about making a ps3 comp hybrid cheap hardware I would think then I could jus have the games on the ps3 hard drive and jus transfers the game from the computer to the ps vita would think be able to host ps3 games from the ps3 with xlink kai. Would think I jus need an emulated on the computer so the computer can read the ps3 hard drive.

As of now, PS3 emulation on PC isnt really a thing. Windows / Linux for PC doesnt read PS3’s FAT32 configured HDD. PS3 doesn’t use anywhere near a $400 or $1500 GPU. My Radeon 7950 in my PC costed $270 and it has over twice as much power as a PS4.

Unless you know how to change video settings of console games, you’re stuck at 720p/1080p

Yep us ps3 owners are lucky, as long as OpenCMA works and the ps3 can access psn then the opencma trick will work, the only real issue is with newer games because obviously we wont be able to run games that require 3.10 and higher.

I’m so damn unlucky. I just bought a $20 psn card(7/11 didn’t have $10 card) to buy the Numblast game. And when I get home, I see this. Lol Good thing is, I left Numblast at the cart. So I currently have 22.02 dollars to spend. :3

***, my 64gb is arriving tomorrow, I have all my games downloaded on my PS3, but every time I try to do the open CMA exploit it tells me to update my firmware on my vita, should I just give up or is there something I’m missing? (I already installed the custom bin files and such)

assuming you want to get your PSN account banned and all your purchases stolen by Sony…

The OpenCMA trick is very easy if you follow the steps, and use the right version of OpenCMA. I would guess that it’s some minor error.

Also I didn’t realize that recent PS3 CFW’s even actually worked with Vita, haha. (but since you can’t do it anyway due to the internet requirement and therefore possible ban, that doesn’t really matter)

Dude, your article title scared me until I realized that it’s just the same change as usual. I was initially concerned that you were suggesting that the proxy trick and OpenCMA in general had been patched, rather than just the normal proxy change that Sony eventually does with every older firmware.

It sucks will i update or what i mean borderlands 2 is coming i cant play my kz merc online 🙁 then fftype0 english patch almost done.. Monster hunter tri psp english is almost playable all the way thru kingdom hearts bbs, manhunt lol tn-v vs psn for me im still on 3.01

Q: I’m on OFW 3.01 and I can’t access the CMA even if it’s the “hacked” one. I wanted to place more PSP games onto my Vita but it’s now making me updated and can no longer connect unless I update. Did I do something wrong, or is this how it’s going to be?

I have OFW 3.01, I have the latest TN-V, and within that an FTP client. I also own a second Vita updated with the latest OFW and no CFW.

Is there a way (please god) to get TN-X to run on the 3.01 vita? I want to buy XS Moto, which I can do on the fully updated Vita using my PSN account, but not on the 3.01 model.

So I guess the plan is to get XS Moto onto the 3.01 Vita, but I’ve got no idea how to do it. I haven’t got OpenCMA installed yet (is it still possible to get this working on 3.01?) and will it help at all or can games only re-downloaded via the PSN store?
